Florida lawmakers passed a law allowing the concealed carry of a loaded firearm without a permit. The bill would call for 'constitutional carry,' as described by pro-gun activists.
“A constitutional right should not require a permission slip from the government. It is time we joined 25 other states to enact constitutional carry in the state of Florida,” he said in his most recent State of the State address.The move was condemned by gun control organizations, who argued that it was the opposite of what was currently needed.
"In an era of increased mass shootings and rising gun crime, it is outlandish that our legislature is being asked to loosen gun restrictions rather than strengthen them," Prevent Gun Violence said in a Januaryafter the introduction of the law.
Luis Valdes, the Florida state director of the pro-gun organization Gun Owners of America, praised the passing of the bill in a"We’ve put enough pressure on the Republican Establishment and we’ve gotten a major win across the finish line. As soon as Governor DeSantis signs this into law, starting July 1, Floridians will no longer need a government permission slip to carry a firearm," he wrote."No longer are we beholden to the government to protect ourselves.
The move is the latest in a legislative blitz pushed by conservatives after Republicans achieved a supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature following the midterm elections last year.
